FLIPIN' Cornhole Review

So here we have it a table top version of corn-hole called FLIPIN' Cornhole.

Let me start by saying this is a FUN game. It sells for $30.00 online plus probably some shipping and handling. It is totally worth it. It is a great addition to any game collection.  It is the perfect game to set up on your ping pong or dinner table.

I know the makers are traveling around to different craft shows selling the game.

You play by placing the small beanbags on the flipper and flipping it towards the next board. Flipping the bags instead of throwing them is a cool little twist on good ole corn-hole.

Besides that the game works just like corn-hole.

I do have a few complaints about the game:

1) It is REALLY hard to get a bag in the hole. Maybe I'm just really bad at this game but it seems just too hard.

2) The board is angled too high for the bags to stay on the board. They almost always slide off. Because of this I changed the rules when I play: 1 board if the bag touches the board even if it is on a bounce and 5 points if the bag goes through the hole. Otherwise the game would be tied 0-0 forever.

3) The flipper could be better. It hasn't broken on me which is good and I don't expect it to which is doubly good but it is kind of hard on one's hand. I also don't like that the flipper is a two-hand job. It might be worth trying to design a flipper separate from board and perhaps market the game with one board and one flipper.

These are the types of complaints I hope the game-maker will keep in mind for future versions of the game. For $30.00-50.00 dollars these shouldn't keep you from purchasing the game. I am also really impressed by all the color options. Here I have a Black and Gold set so I can play corn-hole on my kitchen table while I stream App State football games on ESPN3.

This is a good example of a small game doing something similar to their larger counterpart while also doing their own thing (I will talk more about my feelings of mini-games in future additions). If this game didn't have the flipper and I had to throw the bean-bags cola-pong (I don't drink beer) style this game would be really lame. I give props to the creator for being creative.
